With the game being Saturday at 4:30, need to plan a good place to go to watch the game. Idaho is out. Fattys? Students out of school. Goose Island? Champs in Lombard? Where is everyone going to go? Want to enjoy the game with others. Get your chance to meet the great KLAKE87

DudeLand (my basement bar) in Mount Prospect will be hosting a HUSKIE Watch Party. Tons of Huskie memorabilia, 3 TV's, Jager machine, etc. Anyone who is interested can send me a private message.



-The DUDE

Goose Island is pretty cool. I was there for the MAC game and alot of Huskies showed up. Even did a little Red! and Black! chant.

In all seriousness. Anyone watching the game at a bar in the western suburbs?

Would enjoy a lively crowd. Hate being the only one yelling RED and not hearing BLACK!

The Brickhouse is on the "Official" watch party list.

I don't know of anyplace in the western suburbs where NIU fans gather so I'm not sure where to go to watch it. I might even drive to Fatty's and watch it there if there isn't a closer place.

Has anybody been to the brickhouse? Is that a good place?

I can't remember which thread the official watch party list was in

Are they doing a watch party at Goose Island?

Here are the Alumni Association Watch Parties

In DeKalb, Fatty's, Eduardo's and O'Leary's are also having watch parties of their own.

Regarding the question on Brick House, I've been there but not for a watch party. I assume they'll have an area set up for the alumni association. Overall, not a bad place for an "upscale" tavern. Plenty of chicks walking around in shorts.

Fatty's is THE place to watch the game. It you can possibly get there, do it.

Now, if I can only get Fatty's to use a picture of me as their logo.....

We'll put in a request....

Brickhouse was pretty nice when I went there, but it was more for a dinner. Had good food and service.
